I also have a lot of Windows games on Steam on my dual-boot, which is why I have been re-enjoying Half-Life and the Orange Box games. Once it gets ported (and this is inevitable, since Crusader Kings...
Try this: Open a termina, and navigate to your ~/desura/common/stunt-rally folder. Enter ./name-of-executable, then post the output. This is the best way to find out why a program doesn't run.
OK, something similar happened to me. When you get the angry "no OS found" screen, just keep hitting ctrl-d until you get the Developer mode? screen, then git it back into dev mode.
It worked for...
When I had a Toshiba laptop with ATI x1200 graphics, supported only by open source drivers, I played Neverwinter Nights very well indeed.
I am currently running Chrubuntu on an Acer C7, using...

Re: Portal 2 beta NOT WORKING!
Oh, I know that; sometimes, just for fun, I just take the opportunity to install a new distro, since I have a separate /home drive. That makes it pretty easy for me. Besides, I have certainly fixed...

I use Ubuntu for everything I do with a computer. I do dual-boot Windows on my desktop box, strictly for the games that won't run under wine. I, this week, had to reinstall Windows after it hosed...
Hmmmm. I've been running Chrubuntu for 3 weeks on an Acer C7, just upgraded from 12.04 to 13.04, and the sleep function when the lid is closed works fine for me. I do have to enter my password to...
He's right; I would be getting Portal 2 on release if it were available, since I bought it for Windows on my dual-boot desktop.
Speaking of which: I have occasionally had to reinstall Linux from...
Re: Blizzard Announces Linux Game
I remember one of the PC gaming magazines gave the original Dungeon Quest the "Best Game Of The Year--For Exactly One Week" award, 'cos Warcraft 3 came out exactly one week later.
I daresay that I...
How did you get the game? If it was with the Humble Bundle, you may be able to download the game through the Ubuntu Software center; the Humble Bundle has allowed both Steam keys and Ubuntu Software...
Did you try shift-ctrl-N for a new folder?
And a Good Thing, too. Ignore the troll above....
I am typing this on an Acer C7 Chromebook running Chrubuntu 12.04, with a MATE desktop environment. My big, hulking desktop computer runs 13.04 with MATE. I use both of them. My Chromebook runs...
Well, I have an Acer C7 running Chrubuntu 12.04. I tried upgrading to 12.10, which worked. I then tried upgrading to 13.04, and it hung in the middle of upgrading, for hours. I had to start from...
Exactly what he said; I've used that disk more than once to, uh, Rescue A Tux.

Old Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri fans should note that the original game and its expansion are available on GOG.com, and work beautifully with PlayOnLinux, which has an installation script for SMAC,...
Re: keyboard input randomly stops while playing games
It's OK to link to M$; information is information.
Brutal Legend is, uh, awesome, by which I mean that it's so over-the-top that it's a delight to play. Costume Quest is worth a few giggles, and Stacked is certainly an original concept. I already had...
Re: Half-Life 2, episodes 1&2 and lost coast now on Linux!
Aye, HL2 is downloading now! On my Acer C7 Chromebook, running Chrubuntu, which DOES run Half-Life 1, and Portal. So, we'll see...
Edit: Great googlymoogly! It runs on this little $200 wonder, due...
OK:
1. I get the invalid iomem size message too; bear in mind it says "you MAY experience problems." I haven't seen major problems myself.
2. When it asks about GRUB, it's safe to install it to...
